P&M board locked for 24hrs

[TD2K]

< because posters there acted like children with it, and then got upset that they were being smited and complained about the meany heads who were smiting them >

And you just didn't roll around on the floor laughing at anyone who would actually complain about something like this?

No sorry I missed that ...but could you play it again Sam??

[The J]

Ok but can't you also say the same thing abou the "exalt" button on the EE Board?? To say that is childess would give "childess" a bad name

Except EE hasn't complained.

I would've.

I have to say, the moderators must have been offline, or derelict in their duties. It should not have come to a total shutdown,

I thought the total shutdown was a PERFECT solution. On the old boards the normal solution was to lock the thread (& maybe ban 1 or 2) & then everybody else was free to go to or start other threads to complain, whine, & bitch (& they always did). Because of that the MODS power was eroded over time & they were always 2nd guessed. Well here it seems like moonbeam is saying, HEY your an adult & if you can't play like an adult then you don't get to play (end of story). As far as I can see the only better solution to shutting down the boards would have been for moonbeam to go to the children's houses & slap them around a little (or a lot) & tell them to play nice or she will come back MAD.

One last thing. If you didn't run to be a MOD then shut up. It's a long thankless job that (I'm sure) is a huge pain in the ass a lot of times & they don't need you to try to 2nd guess them (especially when you just diddly bop in here every now & then & don't know the whole story the way they do). I wouldn't take that job for less than $100 per hour & I probably wouldn't last a week. Just my thoughts.

To most of us, Pro Boards is a new toy.
If a warning went out, it should have been enforced.
Maybe there should have been a perma-ban against the worst offenders. That would set the example, up front, from the beginning for everyone. Moonbeam explained the reasons for the shutdown, and I accept the reasoning.

"One last thing. If you didn't run to be a MOD then shut up."

If that was addressed to me, I threw my name up there for the members.
I was not chosen. Don't have any regrets one way or the other. It is a volunteer position that is thankless. I did vote for two of the present moderators, but was appalled at the lack of an adequate quorum.

An observation:
Your tone in your message is similar to the tone of the members of the P&M members, in how they address each other.
That is exactly how the board(s) degenerate into name calling.

Thanks for your attention.

Since this EE, I will refrain from further messages on this subject.
Thanks

I don't know understand why anyone would want to spend their evening on a message board arguing over Liberal or Conservative differences when you have NFL Football, and the NCAA Bowl games...btw tonight should be a good one Stanford vs Virginia Tech....but it could be a blowout with Stanford running up the score to @ 50 pts with their quarterback who may jump to the NFL after tonight's game

[steff]

From migrating down here to the EE dept last night, it's much much nicer and the people aren't so and as the P&M folks are. I just gotta figure out how not to be the "new girl" around here forever.

Are you saying you would rather watch sports than sit here being entertained. Where is my smite button

[TD2K]

< I just gotta figure out how not to be the "new girl" around here forever. >

Maybe an Exalt will help.

[steff]

I'll be watching the game tonight too.... but I put the tv next to the puter desk...I'm really just waiting for Friday's Cotton Bowl. GIG EM AGGIES!!!!!

[steff]

I guess to not be "the new girl" I should at the very least introduce myself.


Hi, I'm new here. My name is steff...short for stephanie of course. I'm a married (17 years) stay at home mom to 1 kiddo (16 year old son). I love big 80's hair & music, football & Nascar (Go Dale Jr!). My hubby works nights, so I have WAY too much time on my hands. I'm 'from' Texas, but currently residing in NE Georgia to learn to perfect my Southern Belle routine.

[TD2K]

Hi Steff. Glad to see you around.

[steff]

Hi TouchDown 2000 (that is what TD2K stands for right?). and thank you for the exalt.

[ken a.k.a OMK]

Who's giving lap dances?

[TD2K]

Good guess. TD2k is the abbreviation from my email address "[e-mail]". My fingers were cramping typing out the whole thing :-)

[steff]

Well, I know I'm new around here, but I think Touchdown sounds better than testdog. Testdog makes me think of my Miss Meanie kitty beating up on our little Mr Doggie.

Value Buy, there ISN'T as stringent a standard here, but that doesn't mean that people can now expect to start with the "FU!" .. "NO f YOU!!" mentality as was displayed yesterday. The CoC plainly states that personal attacks will not be tolerated. that line was crossed several times yesterday, and truthfully, more than one person deserved to be banned. The 24 hr shut down is my way of bringing home the point that i will not stand for that juvenile behavior. you have all been heartily invited to go to nobobs if you want to act like 2 yr olds. that's what it's there for.

personally, i don't care if there is a politics board here or not, because all it spawns is a bunch of stupid reports to mods because this person doesn't agree with that person. of course there are going to be differences of opinion but everyone needs to put their big girl/boy panties on and stick to the topical debate and quit with the rest of the crap.

P&TM whiners lack the ganas to go to NoBobs. We're ready for them! You can keep your two-year olds, though, Moon; we'll just chew 'em up and spit 'em right back atcha!!!!!

Used floss included!

[Value Buy]

Is there still a nobobs board?
Is bob there?
